Electro-hydraulic section bending machines, with three driven bending rolls, two of which are hydraulically adjustable, can bend a maximum capacity of up to 11,000 cm³ depending on the radius. The machines can be fitted with a basic portable positioning control with mini joysticks, with a PLC-based logic control (up to seven axes) for small section machines, or a PC CNC control (up to 24 axes) under the Windows operating system. The CNC-controlled machines can be equipped with an automatic transport and orientation device.
